    My Favourite 100 Tracks Of The Decade!

    Best Of The Noughties

    As is necessary at the end of things like years and decades there's been a load of these top tracks of the noughties lists and I've managed to disagree with just about all of them. Even the Gigwise 50 Greatest Songs of the 2000s included waaay too many Radiohead tracks for my liking! Obviously the old saying goes about opinions and arseholes, so, here's my top 100 tracks from the last ten years. Actually just a few caveats, this is actually my favourite 100 that are on Spotify as I wanted to supply a Spotify playlist as well. So there's actually about another 20 tunes I couldn't find on there, plus there's probably another 20 that I hear in the office but don't know the names of or my booze addled brain has forgotten. Also, only one song per band, otherwise this list would have been a lot less varied. Anyway, here's the Spotify link: Best Of The Noughties. Enjoy!

    P.S. To all those moaners who say there's no good music around these days: open your ears!

    • The first list that I can agree with for a reasonable part. I counted to 10% that actually fits my own list. That's pretty outstanding really! :P

    • One's a duet if you can call it that, with Iggy Pop. There are a couple of repeated artists anyway. M.I.A., Jay Z, Kanye, ATDi/The Mars Volta, Jack White, but no 2 songs by the same line up.
